Single post in Add 2nd and 3rd place prizes to type race

Not necessarily. The idea of a 'top 3' is a very common idea that is applied in many different aspects, especially in the world of sports, considering the fact that we're talking about a 'race'. I don't think it's really unreasonable for the top 3 teams to be getting a reward instead of just the 1st one, especially given the fact that after the team goal is reached as consolation for a perceived 4th place/5th/6th etc that just barely hits the mark, there is no other incentive to really keep going (but adding a reward for top 3 would change it so that there is incentive again).
